Caring Your Computer-----------------------------------------------

Though your computer is designed to function reliably in normal work environments, you need to use common sense in handling it. By following these important tips, you will get the most use and enjoyment out of your computer.

„Be Careful about Where and How You Work

ƒDo not leave the base of your computer, or any other part that becomes hot during operation, in contact with your lap or any part of your body for an extended period when the computer is functioning or when the battery is charging. Your computer dissipates some heat during normal operation. This heat is a function of the level of system activity and battery charge level. Extended contact with your body, even through clothing, could cause discomfort or, eventually, a skin burn.

ƒWhen the AC adapter is connected to an electrical outlet and your computer, it generates heat. Do not place the adapter in contact with any part of your body while using it. Never use the AC adapter to warm your body. Extended contact with your body, even through clothing, may cause a skin burn.

ƒRoute the cables of an AC adapter, a mouse, a keyboard, a printer, or any other electronic device, or communication lines, so that they cannot be walked on, tripped over, pinched by your computer or other objects, or in any way subjected to treatment that could disturb the operation of your computer. Applying strong force to the cables may damage or break them.

ƒPlace liquids away from your computer to avoid spills, and keep your computer away from water (to avoid the danger of electrical shock).

ƒStore packing materials safely out of the reach of children to prevent the risk of suffocation from plastic bags.

ƒKeep your computer away from magnets, activated cellular phones, electrical appliances, or speakers (within 13 cm or 5 in).

ƒAvoid subjecting your computer to extreme temperatures (below 5°C/41°F or above 35°C/95°F).

ƒSome appliances, such as certain portable desktop fans or air purifiers, can produce negative ions. If a computer is close to such an appliance, and is exposed for an extended time to air containing negative ions, it may become electrostatically charged. Such a charge may be discharged through your hands when you touch the keyboard or other parts of the computer, or through connectors on I/O devices connected to it. Even though this kind of electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the opposite of a discharge
